A Snuggle A Day Keeps the Doctor Away....

Having just (and I mean only this morning) semi-recovered from a horrible stomach virus which knocked me on my keister all day yesterday, and during which DH valiantly stayed by my side and attempted to take over my neglected chores, I still had to get my act together and get back about my routine today. So, the mini and I headed over to the auto shop to take care of a quick fluid replacement, followed by a half-eaten lunch at Subway, then on to the grocery store. By this time, I was definitely almost wiped out and looking forward to an afternoon nap, which, surprisingly, the mini has agreed to take with me. So, there we are in the canned goods aisle when she looks up at me from the shopping cart, which I am pushing in a most lackluster manner, when she holds out her arms and says "Mommy, can I hug you?" And during our impromptu snuggle, she very sweetly squeezes me just a little bit tighter and says "I love you, Mommy." Can I even start to tell you how much better I feel?
